Grapefruit plant fruits after 41 years

Gardener Jim Gunter shows off the first fruit of his labour — 41 years after planting a grapefruit pip.



Former Navy officer Jim, 88, gave the bush lots of attention after putting the seed in a pot at Portsmouth in 1965.

But this is the first year it has borne fruit — a whole crop of them hidden behind the outer leaves.

Global warming? Pah!
